Why can't more neighbourhoods and downtowns have these?

I really like them when they’re done well. They’re putting one of those up here in Windsor at the entrance to Old Sandwich Town, our oldest neighbourhood that dates back to the mid 1700s. It will be located right after the new roundabout that was recently put in, which will have a pair of new bronze statues of Chief Tecumseh and Brock in its centre!

Ottawa Street has them on both ends of the main shopping area, been there for many years!

There’s also been a lot of talk lately about finally designating Wyandotte St.W as an official “Asian village”, and erecting some sort of stylized entrance gates at each entrance.
